'God ordained marriage as a lifelong union between one man and one woman' — biblical marriage, traditional gender roles affirmed. | GREEN signal: *** INITIAL SIGNER (one of the founding 153) *** Pastor Todd Wagner is a public signatory of "The Nashville Statement on Biblical Sexuality" (CBMW, 2017-08-25, cbmw.org/nashville-statement). The Nashville Statement is the post-2017 evangelical line on biblical anthropology, marriage, and sexual ethics — affirming creation order, one-man-one-woman marriage, and biblical sexuality. Signing places the pastor on the orthodox / non-affirming side of the 2017 evangelical fault line.

Strong

Accountability Structure

Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?

Non-denominational / independent. Elder-led structure provides accountability.
